a gift from Disneyland on Sunday...

To augment Patrick's post on the Tour Guide Hostesses, here's some name tags that would be issued in case you hit your head and forgot who you were. Dated 1958, these are a little earlier than the Hostess SOP guide which dates from the mid-sixties...


These are the less common type which were adhesive stickers rather than the later hang-tag type. The stickers didn't last too long as you can guess how quickly the adhesive would slip the surly bonds of your clothing and drop back to Earth.

A sad thing too, as a lost tag might cause one to end up in City Hall crying in a puddle of one's own tears...

Jordan- I have a bunch of hang tags and some of these types. My favorite one I have is stuck into a scrapbook with a couple of other items.
